Actually, you've got that backwards. Check out 'man ln' - you'll see
that the first parameter is the target for the link, and the second is
the link name itself (much in the way cp file1 file2 takes file1, and
copies it into file2) - in this case it makes a link at
$startdir/pkg/usr/bin/url_handler.sh (which will be installed to
/usr/bin/url_handler.sh once you install the package) that points to
/etc/urlview/url_handler.sh.
